Apologies if this has been gone over, but I believe I have checked the intertubes more than a bit.....
I am using libvirt and have vms booting under an OVMF.fd to use an efi firmware. I can create vms, linux ubuntu, and they will boot up. However, everytime I reboot am I dropped into the default efi shell provide by the tianocore build.
Then I must walk the FS to the booting efi app and run, in this case grubx64.efi, to actually finish booting the host.
I had tried adding boot entries with efibootmgr within the OS and also bcfg with the efi shell. I get no errors when adding an entry, and the new entry shows up and I can manipulate the entry i.e. set it to next boot and the like. Soon as I reboot I get dumped back to efi shell.
Am I missing something? Are the var changes not being stored? Is there someplace to look for an error perhaps?
I also can use the same efi bootloader under libvirt to boot a hybrid iso. location of the efi application on the hybrid iso is /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi. Drops me right into my grub menu, after falling thru from EFI FLOPPY1 and EFI FLOPPY2 to EFI DVD
So since that was/is working, tried adding that to my efi partition so it has /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi. The thinking being that since I can't add an entry, I will setup for the "known" efi boot path. Of course that didn't work either
I am on arch linux:
